Open Source Summit<\/a>\u00a0North America is right around the corner. There will be hundreds of sessions, workshops, and talks, all curated by experts in the Linux and open source communities.\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s not an easy feat to choose the topics and sessions you want to attend at the event \u00a0because there are so many topics and only so much time.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this article, we talk with Laura Abbott, a developer employed by Red Hat, and Bryan Liles, a developer at Heptio, a Kubernetes company, based in Seattle, Washington, about the upcoming event. A<\/span>bbott is on the program committee for Open Source Summit, and Liles is one of the program chairs, working hard \u201cto build out a schedule that touches on many aspects of Open Source.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hot topics<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been interested in cloud-native applications for a few years now, and I spend most of my time thinking about the problems and developing software in this space,\u201d said Liles. \u201cI\u2019m also interested in computer vision, augmented reality, and virtual reality. One of the most important topics in this space right now is Machine Learning. It\u2019s amazing to see all the open source solutions being created. I feel that even as a hobbyist, I can find tools to help me build and run models without causing me to go into debt. Personally, I\u2019m looking forward to the talks in the\u00a0<\/span>Infrastructure & Automation<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<\/span>Kubernetes\/Containers\/Cloud Native Apps<\/a>\u00a0tracks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are just a few of the must-see cloud computing sessions:<\/span><\/p>\n

As a kernel developer, Abbott gets excited when people talk about their future kernel work, especially when it involves the internals like the page cache or memory management. \u201cI also love to see topics that talk about getting people involved in projects for the first time,\u201d she said. \u201cI’m also excited to see the <\/span>Diversity Empowerment Summit<\/span><\/a> and learning from the speakers there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

You may wonder as we are moving toward the cloud native world, where everything is running in a cloud, does Linux even matter anymore? But, the fact is Linux is powering the cloud. <\/span> \u201cLinux is what’s powering all those topics. When people say Linux. they’re usually referring to the complete platform from kernel to userspace libraries. You need a solid base to be able to run your application in the cloud. The entire community of Linux contributors enables today’s developers to work with the latest technologies,\u201d said Abbott.<\/span><\/p>\n
